Cold turkey is the only way, for your mental health and the quicker demise of the cesspit that is reddit.

A device to allow me to spread cream cheese evenly on a bagel without getting all over my fingers.

I'm thinking some sort of rotating bagel mount with a silicone tapered spike.

Instead of fining drivers, how about a "sin bin".

A mandatory session sit out requiring another driver to take their place. Serious offences could be one or more weekends out, minor offences just one or more practice sessions.

This has no bearing on driver earnings, other than future contracts based on penalties. It also gives more chances for reserve and junior drivers to get a drive.

Edit: Now I'm imagining a top gear stig waiting in the wings for a driver error. Maybe the stand-in drivers are picked at random from an FIA approved list rather than the team themselves.

Yes, it's just to support the dev.

Seems a bit excessive to want to remove that one option to streamline the UI. I could understand if there were dozens of root menu items, but it seems fairly unobtrusive to me.

I like Ricciardo, he's a nice guy. But IMO, he's not a no. 1 driver. There really is no shame in that. To obtain a drive in F1 and retain it year after year is an immense achievement in itself. You need a certain level of cockyness, but drivers like Perez and Bottas have done well accepting they are not the best driver. They are bloody good racers, just not the best.

I fear Danny Ric will be too hard on himself the first year if this happens and push too hard, expecting to match verstappen. He strikes me as a confidence driver. When things go badly, he gets in a rut. In contrast, when he was having success, it bred more confidence and more good results.

Really hope I'm wrong. It would be great to see him back to his happier days.

Incorrect, you are "free" to not use it. You are also "free" to develop your own app using your own time and skills.
